Gen. Greedy in his annual report states
that 68.5 per cent. Of the storm signals or
dered during the past year were verified by

predicted storm is to be light or severe,
and from what quarter the wind is TO come.
He will also indicate whether the Storm
centre is approaching or has already passed
the station where the signal is displayed.
It is recommended that the West Indian
service be renewed, inasmuch as many of
our hurricanes come from that quarter. 1t
ia suggested that system OF river and rain
fall stations might be devised which would
enable practiced observers to predict the
extent and continuance of great floods many
days in advance, and thus mitigate the
severity of disasters due TO floods.
